Welcome to the Fireside Conference Podcast - a rambling (in a good way) chat with founders Steven Pulver and Daniel Levine with occasional interjections from Producer Tom.

In this episode we interview Sol Birenbaum, co-owner and Camp Director of Camp Walden, by the shores of Walden itself. Sol is an inspirational leader and lifelong entrepreneur. He’s in his 15th year as owner of Camp Walden, the venue we call home for Fireside. Sol has been a mentor and inspiration to the entire Fireside team since its inception and we are honoured to have him as our first official Fireside Podcast guest.

Recorded on Tuesday 5th September 2017, on our drive from Toronto up to the Fireside location - Camp Walden, Palmer Rapids. With Steven at the wheel, and Daniel (plus producer Tom) keeping him company on the ride up.

We discuss our excitement with finding the Podcast on iTunes, our tips for camp, and some extra details on the history of Walden. Once again the topic falls on to food, including some of the amazing meals that you'll be experiencing over the weekend!

A special announcement about your free Kawartha Dairy ice cream can also be found within this episode..

Oh, and another announcement about our first (and hopefully not last!) Carpool Karaoke project - keep an eye on your email over the next 24 hours for further details.
